Okay, I've heard it said in a few places that one of the changes ATI made in the PCB of the X1800s was that it had the same mounting holes as nVidia's GeForce 7-series.
It certainly looks that way, anyway:
7800 series mounting holes
X1800XL series mounting holes
LOOKS like the same distance.
Anyway, what got me wondering about it was taking a look at the X1600XT:
Mounting holes
As to you can see - it *appears* that it is using the exact same bracket mechanism the X1800s are.
Can anyone confirm any of this? If so, coolers that fit on 7-series GeForce cards would also fit on X1600s.
